ACNECIDE TOPICAL AQUEOS GEL 5% - 30G

Important Instructions for Using Acnecide

Acnecide is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Unless your doctor or pharmacist has told you otherwise, follow these instructions:

Before Applying:

• Wash the affected area with a mild skin cleanser and water.
• Gently pat your skin dry.

Application:

• Apply the gel once or twice a day to all the affected areas.
• If you experience drying or peeling, you may need to alter the frequency of application (e.g., once a day or once every two days) until your skin adjusts to the product.

Sunlight and Sunscreen:

• Avoid exposure to strong sunlight while using Acnecide.
• If exposure is unavoidable, use a suitable sunscreen lotion and apply Acnecide in the evening.
• Remember to wash the affected area before use.

Treatment Duration:

How long you will have to use Acnecide will depend on how quickly your condition improves. After you have used it for one month, you should see your doctor or pharmacist again to check the improvement of your condition.

Treatment Strength:

You should start treatment with the lower strength product. Provided your skin tolerates the lower strength gel, your doctor or pharmacist may recommend continued treatment with a higher strength gel to further help clear your acne.

Common Side Effects:

In the first weeks, you may experience:

• A feeling of skin tension, dryness, or a burning, stinging, or itching sensation.
• A small amount of peeling or reddening of the skin.

These effects are usually mild and will go away when treatment stops or the gel is applied less often.
